GingerBrave and his quirky friends decide to stop running and make their own kingdom or something, and also choose violence. There's also some lore about the Cookie Run franchise nestled within as well. And fallen over gnomes. And lots of server maintenance.

To do: Various things: Rip all of the unused animations. npc0001 has 3 animations as well. Seemingly every Cookie has 3 unused voice lines of the Cookie saying "Cookie Run: Kingdom", "Devsisters" and a "loading" quote. These are never used in game but are used in promotional material. Indonesian and Brazilian Portuguese localizations are removed, and should be archived here. Document the Chinese Version by Tencent Games

Sub-Pages

Animations Animations for Cookies that go unused.

Unused Character

Cookie0000, bizarrely returning from Cookie Run: OvenBreak's files barring their design being a black silhouette, is present in the files of Cookie Run: Kingdom, with their role being a placeholder.

Cookie0000 has a single cutscene sprite and only an idle and appearing animation. Cookie0000 additionally has data present acting as if it is an obtainable Cookie, including an overworld spritesheet and animations, but the data only exists as a blank .png and simple pointers respectively.

Unused Graphics

Unused Character

A character who was designed to be an NPC appears in the game files, internally named npc0001. They were seen in the 2019 Devsisters Lineup Trailer, having their own menu icon, perhaps suggesting that they were intended to be playable or perhaps have a large role as an NPC, yet as of launch, they seem to have been scrubbed from the game altogether. Interestingly, they appear in The Art of Cookie Run: Kingdom artbook on the page for Black Magic.

Carol Cookie

The development of Cookie Run: Kingdom was long and arduous, being reworked several times during development with the final game having several cuts of Cookies that were present in previous game builds. One of these Cookies was Carol Cookie, who was seemingly cut rather late during the rework of the game into it's current state, as she has a unique sprite for standing, as well as exhausted and menu icons, being reused from Cookie Run: OvenBreak. It is unknown what she would have done as a playable character, but she did make it into the game's launch files, only to never be used.

On November 25, 2022, at 5:00 AM, the Stories by the Fireplace update was announced, which includes Sherbet Cookie as a Super Epic, The Sugar Gnomes' Holiday Cake Shop, an Expansion and some new features for the Tower of Sweet Chaos, and... Carol Cookie herself! This makes the standing sprite no longer unused.

Exhausted Graphics

Every playable Cookie has an exhausted graphic in the game. Only GingerBrave's is used, when the player fails a level in Story mode. Every other Cookie does have appropriate graphics, though; but Cookies that appeared in Cookie Run: OvenBreak simply reuse their exhausted sprites from said game. The new Cookies introduced in Kingdom have completely unique images drawn, although they are rough and unfinished... These sprites can be seen in the artbook too. (Placeholders, maybe?)

Decor

• 

  A random trashcan, called "Treetrashcan". Guess this was too trashy to be worthy of release.

• 

  A deco of a golden statue of GingerBrave, much like the physical one that was *Supposedly* given away during the 10M Kingdoms rally. There has been no announcement that there would ever be an Ingame Decor of this.

• 

  An unreleased Deco set, titled "Jelly Walker Incident", and is notably a reference to Cookie Wars. Only its thumbnail sprites remain. This set was shown off in this prerelease trailer.

Scrapped Event

Tied to the grand launch login bonus event, there was plans to enter players into a raffle for a free copy of the Cookie Run: Kingdom Art Book if you logged in all 14 days. While there's no explicit reason why this was canned, the rocky launch the game faced more than likely meant this event wasn't going to last in the first place--perhaps the development team foresaw issues and canned it due to that?

Sketches

• 

  A sketch of the PVP Statue.

• 

  An unused loading screen sketch.

• 

  A sketch of this art.

• 

  A sketch of the New Season art.

• 

  A rough sketch of the train station.

Loading Screens

Most of these loading screens came from the pre-registration animation video, but one can speculate that they were just placeholders to test out something else.

2018 Leftovers

CookieRun: Kingdom was revealed initially in late 2018, showing a game with early animations and scrapped features, and more. Thankfully(?), some of the assets have survived the transition. these were used in said trailer, unless stated otherwise.

• 

  The icon for when a Festival was ready.

• 

  One of two scrapped house designs.

• 

  The other scrapped house design.

• 

  Unused icon for "Happiness Points", for the Cookie actions.

• 

  House interior for a scrapped feature. Seen in the Artbook scan.

• 

  Scrapped boss resembling a mechanical mole.

• 

  Scrapped enemy resembling a mole controlling an excavator.

Unused Backgrounds

A plain, grassy background, that's it.

• 

Unused Tiles

• 

  A somewhat unused tile meant for testing purposes.

• 

  A platform meant for more advanced running segments, shown in The reveal trailer.

• 

  A tile likely meant for the Lunar New Year deco set.

• 

  A tile named "cracker".

• 

  An earlier version of the Biscuitstone Tile.

Unused Icons

• 

  A broom. Previously unused for a good long while, but is now used for the Cleanup Event in the Cuckoo Town Square.

• 

  Ditto, now used in the Cuckoo Town Square's Cheese Vault Event.

• 

  An icon labelled "Special".

• 

  A jelly bear coin, labelled "Gummybearcoin".

• 

  An icon labelled "House_Owner". Most likely linked to a scrapped/upcoming feature shown off in prerelease media.

Unused Quest Icons

All of these are related to kingdom pass quests, or an unused series of quests.

• 

  "Questicon_Cleaning", possibly linked to a scrapped mechanic.

• 

  "Cookie Activity", again, linked to a scrapped mechanic.

• 

  Linked to a scrapped feature where you can assign cookies to houses.

• 

  Quest icon for upgrading a Magic Candy, a returning feature from Cookie Run: OvenBreak. Magic Candies were added on July 7th, 2022 but the icon remains unused.

• 

  Icon labelled "Cooking".

• 

  Icon labelled "Ambassy." Notably, the Art Book shows cookies in this house, and one would've been placed in every NPC Villiage.

• 

  Labelled "Squirrel", probably tied to the appearance of a squirrel shop, seen in prerelease images.

• 

  "Mine", tied to the mine mechanic. This icon has been in the game since launch however, long before the mining mechanic was added. According to the DevNow Behind video, the reason why it got scrapped was because they believed the mining feature seemed like a waste, but it later got reworked and added to the full game anyway. Despite that, this icon still remains unused.

Unused Items

3 unused pearl items. Uses are unknown, but it could be an early version of the Rainbow Pearl item.

• 
• 
• 

Beta Costume System

The costume system was originally going to have the ability to upgrade costumes and three other rarities; Ancient and Legendary. Though as costumes are purely cosmetic, it is unknown what upgrading costumes could do.

• 

  Scrapped "Legendary" rarity tag for costumes

• 

  Scrapped "Ancient" rarity tag for costumes

• 

  Scrapped Gacha animations

• 

  Scrapped costume promotion mechanic

Unused Sounds

Audio	Notes
loop temp.wav	A short electronic drum beat intended to loop.
untitled 3.wav	Appears to be a short incidental jingle
sapphire.wav	Likely an early sound effect for raising your level in PVP, judging by the filename and other contexts.
	A set of early sound effects for the Cookie Gacha.
Se CK Baking Get Cookie.wav	A standalone version of the generic Epic Cookie obtain sound effect, instead of being within the same sound file.

The game also has numerous leftover (or placeholder?) sound effects from CookieRun: Ovenbreak, such as different Gacha sound effects.

Regional Differences

To do: Difference between Chinese Version and International Version

Credits Music

Korean	All other languages

If the game's text is set to Korean, the vocal version of I Promise, the song played during the animated game trailer, will play. If the game's text language is set to any other language, it will play the instrumental version of the song.

Revisional Differences

Twizzly Gummy Cookie's Touch Animation

Old	New

In a patch in December 2021, Twizzly Gummy Cookie's touching animation was smoothened out, in order to transition to her standard pose.

Cutscene Sprites

Sparkling Cookie

Happy (Old)	Happy (New)

Redrawn to make it less wonky. Face re-adjusted.

Sad (Old)	Sad (New)

The old version has him facing to the left, but the new version is at the right. Redrawn again.

Anti-Cheat

The Android version of Cookie Run: Kingdom utilizes an anti-cheat method to prevent playing the game. While how it exactly works is rather unclear, it can be seen that when the game is launched, the game will check for all of the apps installed on the user's device. If an app that is blacklisted is detected to be installed, the game will intentionally crash itself. Occasionally, a small popup with the title of the package saying that the game cannot run with the installed app will appear, but this is rare.

A full list of apps that are blacklisted by the game is currently unknown, but a few of the known blocked apps are:
